Science 

At Dunbury Academy, our intent is to enable children to become enquiry based learners.  We encourage collaborating through researching, investigating and evaluating experiences. Children have a natural curiosity about the world around them and we encourage them to ask questions and work scientifically to further their conceptual understanding and scientific knowledge.

Children are encouraged to understand how science can be used to explain what is occurring, predict how things will behave, and analyse causes. It provides opportunities for the critical evaluation of evidence and rational explanation of scientific phenomena as well as opportunity to apply their mathematical knowledge to their understanding, including collecting, presenting and analysing data. Children will be immersed in key scientific vocabulary, which supports in the acquisition of scientific knowledge and understanding.

All children will be provided with a broad and balanced science curriculum which reflects the equality and diversity policies and practice in school.
